A COMPLETE BREAKDOWN OF MY MOMENTUM DAY TRADING PROCESS.

[THREAD]

 A process is just a set of rituals you complete consistently every single day to achieve a certain outcome (profit).

A process requires an edge which is simply a statistical advantage you have over other players. A strong psychological state can be considered a bonus edge.
I believe that trading can be split into three elements:

1) Knowledge and idea generation
2) Method and trade execution
3) Risk management and mindset

Each element is necessary and it builds a solid foundation in your trading process.

These factors make up the trading trinity.
MY SCANNING PROCESS:

In PM, I look for:
- Top gainers (40%+)
- Notable volume on gappers
- News or catalysts (to justify gap)
- Float (<50M)
- Market cap (<500M)
- Range (check daily)
- Price (<25)
- Stock personality (check daily)
- Filings (cash on hand and offering potential)
I like to use websites such as:
- https://t.co/dGrDjwtOR8
- https://t.co/Vc256oZCre
- https://t.co/AFrA2ebGr6
- https://t.co/N9nDmqz54E

Usually, I’m left with ~5 stocks in a warm market. I make 2 stocks my main watches and the rest are on the back burner.

I hone in on my top 2.

Also, I have any names that have had momentum and held trend in the prior days as back burner watches since they may see continuation.
Next, I go through all of the charts for the stocks that I’m interested in.

I want to identify:
- Prior ranges (since I believe stocks will trade in ranges until they breakout/down)
- Key levels from the daily
- PML and PMH

Also, I take note of the trend and the 50 and 200 SMA.
MY TRADE SETUP:

INDICATORS:
- 9 EMA = Red
- 20 EMA = Light Blue
- 50 SMA = Yellow
- 200 SMA = Green
- VWAP = Purple
- Volume Bars

TIME FRAMES:
- 5 Minute
- 1 Minute
- 1 Day
My entries will vary depending on price action and the likelihood of a stock coming down to my level.

I prefer to dip buy most of the time because breakout trades require a certain market condition.

I try add as close to major key levels as possible for low risk/high reward.
I don’t know exactly what level a stock will come to so I monitor which range they’re current trading in and I assume they continue trading there.

When it comes down to a channel line or key level. I look to see if price respects that level for an entry with risk just beneath.
If price does end up respecting that level then I will take an entry with risk just beneath the level.

I don’t breakout add unless the market is hot. I would rather for a breakout and re-test and get my adds there.

I flick between the 1m and 5m and I mainly watch candle bodies.
Alternatively, I will play more seasonal strategies and chart patterns which require their own set of rules.

Seasonal strategies are simply strategies that are high probability given the current market conditions.

*I go through and explain some strategies in my pinned tweet.
I do take into consideration supply and demand but I may not draw zones instead I try to have a key level to cover a point in the zone.

I constantly assess sentiment and I always ask myself: “Who’s in control and who’s stuck?”.

This helps me better understand the price action.
I’m selective when it comes to picking my stocks and I’m averse when it comes to taking on big risks.

I love asymmetrical bets where risk/reward and probability is skewed heavily in my favor.

I have a max pain of 10% on a trade and I will risk <2.5% of my account on a trade.
When it comes to position size, I like to go heavy since my downside risk is minimal and I will quickly cut for a paper cut loss. Also, I will move my stops to break-even after a leg up.

You can calculate position size by:

Max risk / (Entry price - Stop price) = Position size
It goes without saying but my risk levels are set around key technical or psychological levels.

I believe these levels to be potential pivot points so I’m really strict at cutting my losses because if I carry on holding then price is likely to flush.

I don’t hold bags!
When it comes to scaling, I have different approaches…

Either I will:

1) Scale most (50%+) on the first target and move my stop to entry
2) Let the stock work and only scale out small amounts (~10%) at key resistances and ride the trend based on the 20 EMA on the 5m
At the end of the day, I close out all of my positions since I’m a day trader.

However, I take note of runners that remain strong and AH movers depending on their action and their close.

I will chart these names when market closes. I keep them on back burner watch the next day.
This is simply my style and strategy that suits my lifestyle and my personality.

It’s what I find consistency, repeatability and profitability in.

It works for me but it may not work for you.

You can take this thread as a guideline and adapt it to fit your way of trading.
Another thing is I’ve recently been using ADR% as a metric to determine range.

Ideally, I want an ADR% of 10+ because I’m interested in explosive momentum moves.

Also, you always want to keep an eye on volume. You don’t want volume to fall off a cliff for a trade you’re in.
As for my trading rules, here are a list of 15 principles that I live by:
It’s not rocket science whatsoever.

Keep things simple and be able to do them time and time again with ease.

There’s no need to make things complex and sophisticated when they don’t need to be.

It’s better to have something straightforward where you just need to execute well.
Also, a big shoutout to @MullinsMomentum, @Tuckerbrees, @RocketCatchnBob, @bear_fuker and @singlesdoubles because they have heavily influenced my trading style and they have helped me find a niche in day trading.

In many ways, my strategy is inspired and derived from their own.

Ever wonder how traders get in stocks before they explode? 🧐

Or find options that move 1,000% in a single day/week?🤯

I made a thread going over exactly how I find these stocks BEFORE they take off 🚀
👇👇👇

So, let's start with the software I use…

Finviz!! Finviz is a free website that I use to scan for stocks.

They have a lot of other cool features as well, but I only use their scanner.
👇

Head on over to finviz and go to the screener

Click on the “All” tab on the top and put in the criteria in the next tweet
👇

This is the first scan that I use for bullish swing setups
✅Quarter +10%
✅Week Down
✅Vol over 400k
✅Optionable
✅Price > $20
👇


The next scan I use is the opposite of the first one.

Simply change:
✅Quarter +10% to -10%
✅Week Down to Week up

This is my bearish scan for swing setups. 👇

You always hear people let your winners ride or cut your losers early. Easier said than done, right?

Well, it's a mathematical fact that implementing this will improve your trading profits

The math behind leaving runners on and cutting losers early 👇👇👇

When trading, you have a 50/50 chance of being right. No matter which side of a trade you take, the stock can either go up or down.

There are certain indicators, levels, or other ways you can increase your odds of being right >50%, but you'll never get significantly higher

So, if our trading record is going to be ~50% right and ~50% wrong, how do we make money?

You HAVE to let your winners run and cut your losers early.

If your losers and winners are the same size (eg losers are -10% and winners are 10%), then you have to win 51% of your trades to make money

Example: you take 100 trades for $100. Winners win $10, losers lose $10. To profit, you need 51 winners (+$510) and 49 losers (-$490)

HOWEVER, if you let your winners run and cut your losers early, the # of trades you have to get right decreases

Example: you take 100 trades for $100. Winners win $20, losers lose $5. To profit, you need 21 winners (+$420) and 79 losers (-$395)

Thread about what I've been doing and what I've found trying to trade options. All of this was inspired by @AdamSliverTrade @drippy2hard @WealthBrah .

First thing I do is find any good traders watchlist. Sometimes they put their triggers other times they don't. For practice sometimes I'll type in "watchlist from:AdamSliverTrade" on twitter to see all of his past watchlists.

Like this:


Then I go to that date in trading view and only look at the past data to draw trend lines and support/resistance levels. So let's take $MU from his 11/30 watchlist and chart it out.

Normally I would look at the monthly candle, weekly, and daily to see if they have any continuity (all red or all green). But I can't really do that with past trades I don't know if the monthly or weekly were red before.

Mini thread of my strategy.

Disclaimer: I truly don’t feel qualified to share “my strategy”. There are other better experienced traders you should listen to. But here’s what I trade: MOMENTUM, FLOW & CNBC pump 😃

Every night I manually go through 50-60 tickers and find high probability setup based on previous day/week’s action. I chose to manually go through tickers as it helps me continue to learn my frequently traded tickers, their “personality” etc.

I set alerts based on levels I identify. Pivot levels such as previous days high, low, close etc. I tend to set my alerts few $$ below where I’d actually want to enter a trade. This way I can have time to pull the chart up, find the right contract without rushing into any trade

I’ve studied candle sticks and have particular candlesticks I tend to keep an eye out for when I go through my watchlist. Inside days, morning/evening star, spinning tops, hammer, harami, marubozu are some faves. Also note stocks with high volume and strong trend day.

I’m not big on TA as I find it to be too subjective. However, certain patterns that are obvious and that I can identify without squinting too hard, I take note of- bear flags, bulls flags, range breaks, obvious trend lines. I don’t force trends and patterns that don’t exist 😂

Those who exited at 1500 needed money. They can always come back near 969. Those who exited at 230 also needed money. They can come back near 95.

Those who sold L @ 660 can always come back at 360. Those who sold S last week can be back @ 301

Santkumaras-The four adorable kids of the Universe.

The Kumaras r the four sages who roam the Universe as children from the Puranic texts of Hinduism named,Sanaka, Sanatana,Sanandana& Sanatkumara.They r described as the first mind-born creations &sons of the creator God Brahma.


Brahma,who had received the knowledge of Puranas from the Universal being(God Himself), imbibed this to his 4 Kumaras.
Sanat Kumaras then taught the Puranas to Narada.Narada transmitted it to Krishna Dwaipayana who in turn scripted them in monumental epic documents of 18 Puranas.

The Vishnu Purana is recorded in two parts,the Vishnu Purana & Naradiya Purana.The teachings of Sanaka of the Kumara brothers r contained in the Naradiya Purana which is also divided in two parts, the first part containing the teachings of Sanaka &second part,teachings of others.


Born from Brahma's mind,4 Kumars took lifelong vows of celibacy against their father's wishes.They r said to wander throughout materialistic &spiritualistic universe without any desire but with the aim to teach.All 4 brothers studied Vedas from their Childhood&travelled together.


The Bhagwata Purana lists the Kumaras among the 12 Mahajanas(great devotees or bhaktas) who although being eternally liberated souls from birth, still became attracted to the devotional service of Vishnu from their already enlightened state.
